REDUCE YOUR CONNECTICUT TAX DEBT

Offer in Compromise

Connecticut does have an Offer in Compromise (OIC) program for both individual taxpayers and operating businesses to resolve their back-tax liabilities.  Generally speaking, the OIC works better for individuals than businesses.  

If you feel you do not owe the tax, you may be able to settle the debt under the “Doubt as to Liability” option of the OIC.  If you feel you cannot afford to pay your tax debt you may be able to settle your tax liability under the “Doubt as to Collectability” option of the OIC.  

Penalty Relief

Unfortunately, the state of Connecticut is not friendly when it comes to granting penalty relief on back-tax liabilities.  You must pay the tax liability in full before the state will even consider your Penalty Waiver Request.  

CONNECTICUT TAX RESOLUTION CASE EXAMPLES

The Connecticut Department of Revenue Services has some flexibility when it comes to back-tax liabilities.  Each case varies based on factors such as compliance history, type of tax owed and total amount past due.  Click below to see some case examples in your state negotiated by M&M.
